Keep in mind a dog can eat a food for a long time and then become allergic to it so that can be happening also but you have to start eliminating the most recent changed variables first.

No, it started at somepoint recently....the treat and shampoo change were months ago. I have a feeling it's something environmental. I would think that if it was food/shampoo related, other parts of his body would itch. We are going to the vet today.

not necessarily if food related but you could be correct as usually environmental and it is going to be a horrible allergy season so you could check with vet about zyrtec as alot of dogs do well on that as an antihistamine and better than steroids

Vivian, what did the vet say?

viviansnickers · 06-03-2010, 04:02 AM

The vet was not too worried about it said she would have never noticed unless I pointed it out. She gave Snick an anti-histamine to relieve anything that could be enviromental and that calmed my nerves. I also figured out that after I feed Snick his raw, I wipe his beard down with a warm babywipe, but I never would wipe the top of his nose. I sprinkle 2 supplements on his raw and never thought that the particles could be collecting on his nose at the top while he eats. So I started wiping his whole nose down as well and I already saw this morning that he did not mess with his nose/scratch it. We'll see if now if things improve for the long run. I hope I solved the problem.

Thanks for all the help gals...

Did this work? This sounds like my Molly; she is 10 months old, and this happened to her. She's had the scrapings; they were negative. We've taken away her plastic like and rubber toys. She eats from glass bowls. The vet gave her a Vet formula food by Purina which has fish. I see no improvement after two months. Thank you

Did what work?

Ellie's hair continued to grow and it started to look almost normal. I just checked it again and it may be happening all over. There looks to be a bald spot. So I don't know. It has been scraped, cultured, and biopsied and we have no answer.

Sorry, I'm new here, and that was my first post; I hope I do a better job this time...

I am wondering if wiping the nose after eating helps (from viviansnickers post). I am so sorry yours is starting back! Molly has a little fuzz, but hers is red on the sides, and the bottom lip has little bumps. It looks chapped, and she acts like it hurts her after drinking water too, so I try to dry her hair. She literally seems to scrape her hair off with her front feet!

I'd be a little bit concerned that it is coming out around the eyes. Has the vet checked for demodex mites?

BOYBOY · 11-24-2010, 06:54 AM

the vet is sure that it is allergy,he checked for mites and he said that it'snot something like this..how is that mite look?I use advantix,spot on dog...is there any possibility to be something like this?around the eyes the hair loss isn't that obvious that it is at her belly...Here in Greece told me that to do allergy test ,the first part,will be sent blood sample in Spain and costs 540euros...Is it worthing?with the pills,she stopped scratching...
